Nothing good ever comes to my CCO. I figure if I'm gonna cave I might as well bring someone down with me, lol.

There are some good finds at my nearest one sometimes. I think they have Hibiscus Kiss Blush Duo right now. Or they did. But I haven't seen the Temp Rising quads so that makes me feel like maybe this one won't show up.

Gasp! Don't take me down with you!

Finally got to play with all of my goodies! Here's a swatch of Roxo I did when I got home. I posted a video (link in signature) of the lipglasses layered over it and some comparisons. My lipglasses were mislabeled, too but I got them so I don't care! haha

Why MAC why! Sticker says Mirror but the gloss is gold. I'll call them tomorrow...

The Gold is very pretty but more opaque than I desire. I wanted a wash of shimmer to go over other lippies. This gloss will completely cover anything underneath.
The silver one is the exact same way, maybe even a teeny tiny bit more opaque than the gold one! If that's not what you are looking for, maybe you can just get a total refund and be done with the whole thing? I'm trying to be Little Miss Anti-Enabler! ;)

Also for all of you who are really tempted by the blush: Ask yourself a couple of questions: Do you already have Ring of Saturn MB? If yes, do you use it so much that you wish you had a matte version or a version that was a little softer and easier to buff in? Also, do you wish you had a Beauty Powder that was similar to Forever Marilyn but maybe a little bit pinker and deeper (just a little bit)? If you answered yes to all of these, you probably will be interested in the blush, but if these questions make you say "OK, whatever", then you could skip the blush and not feel like you missed something supernaturally great. I keep trying to talk myself out of the blush, but it's pretty tempting to me personally. However, with all the blushes I already have, it's the sort of thing that's a little hard for me to justify, just because I could already get the same look more or less. That compact is gorgeous, though and it'd be a great blush to wear all summer and fall - it's the sort of product you could wear every single day very easily because it's versatile and subtle.

"Oh MAC, go home, you're drunk." I laughed way too hard at that. (But it's so true)

I hope everyone's orders get fixed. Thank you everyone for posting swatches. I ordered the blush and hush, having a hard time skipping the quad though!

Here are more pics of the blush. It is gorgeous! I love the packaging and had no problems with the pigmentation, no scraping necessary. I think @liba is right about the top part being better as a beauty powder for some people, it buffed out pretty sheer. I had to layer it quite a bit to get this swatch but it went on easy. It sucks that the bloggers got duds but thats probably also why it has stuck around. I picked up Ruby and Roxo as well and was going to wait to try them because I'm sick but I couldn't resist Roxo. I was terrified it was going to be super brown after all the talk on here but it was really nice, a little brown but not overwhelming. I did try it after with Cherry l/l underneath and it brightened just a smidge and I loved it like that as well, still vampy but not as dark.

Sooooooooooo prettyyyyyyyy

I patted both of them over Roxo and they didn't cover it. Check out my video if you'd like. I just used my finger to Pat it on

Not sure why the glosses are completely covering the lipsticks you all have on underneath. Mine are pigmented, but not that pigmented. I just dabbed them over Roxo with my finger in my video and they just added a nice sheen. At lunch today I applied Mirror directly over Roxo with the applicator, and the silver sheen was stronger, but you could still very much see Roxo underneath.

Just going by the online swatches, I'm wondering if I could dupe the blush with Immortal Flower for the light pink part and Nars Seduction for the plum.
